Has anyone noticed any significant lag in the HC browser on the Nook Color?

Usually it's pretty quick, especially when I have >100Mb free memory. But sometimes when I click a link the blue progress bar just sits there for over a minute, sometimes longer.

I'm running Preview V04 of a class 6 4GB card. It works pretty well most of the time.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bdcrim:
Same here at times. Seems like the more that is cached the slower it gets. If you haven't, try Opera 11. It has a funky layout, but is very responsive.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] t3rabyte:
Wow, Opera is so much smoother and quicker. Thanks for the tip :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
i wouldnt expect anything that runs off the sd card to load anything as quick as emmc

Dolphin Mini is a pretty nice alternative to the Honeycomb stock browser, maintaining tabs and all. The only thing I never really enjoyed with Opera was the zooming.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bdcrim:
I agree about the zooming with other versions of opera. However, this version for me is different as night and day. The pinch to zoom feature works well and is very fast. I personally prefer it over Dolphin. May try it if you haven't.

I flashed back to stock and didn't have any issues acquiring the OTA update. Make sure you are on this version of the "stock" firmware. You want to be on the shipped ROM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003903

Don't seem to have this issue.

Not here. Might have a tower out in your area. G stands for GPRS which is the slowest mobile internet service you can have. I would call AT&T and they should let you know if a tower is out in the area.

I know it's OTA. But the update is saved in the cache after downloading which means that you can pull it via adb so that you have a copy on your PC or SD.

You just have to make sure to pull it before you update because it's deleted afterwards.

[Atrix 4G General] Beach_Head:
Isn't there a windows period for the update? After the window closes, they won't re-enable the download.

Hopefully, someone saved a copy of the update and uploads it here...
[Atrix 4G General] cafe.:
Update installed smoothly, although I wasn't expecting it to take as long as it did. There were some tense moments during the install, mainly just because I was paranoid that it crashed.

Phone info:

rooted

unmodified Motoblur

unmodified ROM

No other changes to system files

**note** I did "freeze" some of the preloaded AT&T software on the phone using Titanium Backup Pro. To be safe, I unfroze everything before installing the update.

-Wifi is required to download the update.

What to expect during the install:

1) It will start by shutting down/rebooting your phone.

2) Shortly after it turns off, an unpacking/installing screen appears. The install screen has a progress bar, box, and a little android. During the install, like most installations, the bar will stop for several seconds (20-60 seconds). This is normal, so relax.

3) After the progress bar hits 100%, the led on the phone will begin to blink red. Don't touch the phone during this point, it will reboot on it's own. So again don't panic, this can take a minute or so.

4) After it reboots, the normal circular red Motorola "M" splash screen will appear. I remember mine shutting off or something at this point, so I hit the power button to turn it back on. I doubt that was necessary, but if it does turn off simply turn it back on.

5) The first boot up is unusually long, somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes.

6) After it boots you should have no problems at all using the phone, but keep in mind any root access you had will be lost. I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, but I don't think there is anything you can do to stop this from happening.

The phone performs substantially better after the update, although it is not particularly noticeable during regular use. The main area that I saw improvement was in the webtop interface... don't expect it to be perfect though. Either the battery indicator or battery management also seems to be tweaked a bit, it's hard to say at this point what that will mean for battery life.

I wouldn't recommend installing this update if you've done anything more than root your phone, this includes removing any programs/apps out of the system partition.

Good luck!
[Atrix 4G General] KaLiBLeeK:
Yeah, reading the list of fixes in that update is making me contemplate giving up the Atrix until they release Gingerbread for it. I actually signed up for the 4GB tethering plan, and at least twice a day I have to restart my phone because the data connection either drops completely, or slows to a 2kb/s crawl. *sigh*

My brother received an email from Motorola Development stating that within the next couple of days, he will receive a OTA pop-up for a BETA release testing for Gingerbread 2.3 .. funny thing is, like me, took our Atrix's back & both swapped them for the HTC Inspire (which we certainly don't regret doing).

So, either way, this does show that Gingerbread is SOON to be released for you Atrix owners :)
[Atrix 4G General] tbm48813:
so anyone else after the update have problems with the wifi. signal strength sucks now and it bombs out all the time. used to be just fine before. not sure if this was addressed already but Ive been looking for someone else with the problem and maybe a solution but havent found anything and motorolas forums locked the discussion and there is no relevant new one to complain about this awful update that seemingly did nothing but break my wifi. anyone notice any "improvements" other then a weaker wifi signal? Ive heard "faster" but it benchmarked the same and did not seem any faster to me. Ive seen something about blutooth but i dont have a bluetooth keyboard. the fingerprint scanner still doesnt usually work on the 1st or 2nd try.

I was accepted as a beta tester and received the update. I lost my root, but this morning I installed the amazon app store apk and downloaded an app. It does work. So the update didn't change the setting back for installing non-market apps.

I've been lurking around since I got my atrix at the beginning of the month. The update seems to make my touch screen a little smoother. The slide unlock seems to be working better too.

It has been confirmed that if you are rooted and have sideloading enabled before the update, sideloading still works after.

get your terms right. You can always sideload, rooted or not. It just requires the use of adb. However what you are referring to is the selection of the "all non-market apps" setting.

I am talking about sideloading on the phone, not through adb. I never said it required root, just that if you were prior to it only the sideloading would work. Sideloading as the term everyone else has been using to describe this method.

With Gigerbread leaked for the Droid X and D2, you'd have to think the Atrix Gingerbread is not far behind.

I feel you, I'd love it if they somehow made blur not bad but 9/10 times its just an update to the same crappness that no one likes. It's cool they're trying to add their own feel to the phone but at this point they're just blowing cash on it. If you aren't going to do a good job on it or do it right just stop and spend the money/time and put it into something useful.
[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
Mm. Well, to be fair, the Atrix's blur isn't too bad.

Compare it to the likes of the Motorola Bravo... (I messed with one in an AT&T store. Holy droids was that thing slow even without a wallpaper) and there's a difference.

[Atrix 4G General] Julian713:
Hi I have System version: 4.1.26, it was rooted using aRoot worked perfect. Now if I wanted to do this update to 4.1.57, should I unroot the phone first (using the unroot file that came with aRoot. Will that remove superuser icon/app?) before doing the update (I know I will lose root). The reason I ask is if I wanted to return the Atrix after doing the new update I dont want AT&T/Moto to know I rooted (them seeing the superuser icon/app) the phone and not take back my phone back.

Thank you.

Also is there a way not to install this update. My phone already downloaded the update and now asks if i want to install it. Also if I restart/reboot the phone will it automatically install?
